Ive got a story like that,
I came into bat and i was playing against my cousins team. Anyways, he is a bit of a Flintoff wannabe just as i am Warne
He walks past me and gives me the nob he is taking the ball, so i get ready, as he is a fair quick bowler, from what it sounds, a bit like Matt is, fair tall and gets alot of bounce.
Anyways, first ball he comes tearing in and bowls a bouncer which i duck with ease, and as he walks away he tells me to watch out for more of them. Well being me, i thought about him throwing in a yorker, and he did, so id not scored from him after two balls and he says to me,
Whats up Si, you usually look to smack me about?
(Somthing along these lines)
So next ball i just guide down to third man and took two runs, and again he churps saying,
Hmmm....Whats up, My mom n ur mom r watching, i thought u were gunna show me how its done, you were saying all this in the car here.
(We played at a ground which had better drainage as there ground was water logged so i took a lift from my Auntie, so being males and both trying to act the better we talked up our games.)
So 4th ball he bowls another bouncer which i usually look to smack for 6, but knowing he knew id try it i left it alone, which i then got more abuse for.
Haha, dont tell me your gunna turn down that!
So i kept quite, 5th ball comes and he trys an inswinger which i saw all the way. It pitched a bit short so i came down the wicket and dispatched over Ben's head (My cousins name)
5th ball, i knew whatever ball came my way i was going to attack, and i knew he'd bowl a bouncer.
He runs up and out of nowere he finds an extra 5 MPH of pace, felt like 10, so i quickly go to make contact, and it floats weakly into the sky, and he comes running over saying
Your out, you must be out
Guy on the boundry runs in and for all the world i knew i was gone until the ball ran out of field and me willing the rope to come and it did, after all that it landed saftly for 6.
As he walks away, he mumbles to me that i was lucky.
All i said to him is
Look how your mom cheered after that one
He wasnt too pleased as my Auntie gets a bit excited at batting, she cant stand watching bowling
Now thats what you call family pride:P
Fair enuf he got me out, but i was on 47, so it didnt bother me much, as i caught him out, :rtfl
